Text symbol

What 䭎 means

It names cakes in an old Chinese food term.

A Tang-period Dunhuang food glossary records 膏䭎 as a name for 餢飳, a cake fried in oil.

Dictionaries also give 䭎 the broader gloss “cakes.” 餢飳 is also written 䴺𪌘.

To read 䭎 in chat, use the surrounding words; its food sense alone does not tell you why it was sent.
